Description
Summary:Bearing capacity calculations for soil foundation beds are analyzed using modern numerical methods based on limit equilibrium theory. The authors examine the results of elastoplastic solutions employing the finite element method (FEM) with the use of PLAXIS and MIDAS software packages. It is shown that the stress fields determined via the FEM do not always satisfy the equilibrium requirements. The stability calculation methods implemented in the Optum G2 are characterized. Finally, the paper proposes additions to the existing regulatory procedure for calculating the bearing capacity of foundation beds.
